The Kafie Chronicles

Time for change. Communism/Socialism must end. Time for Democracy.

The premium cigar industry is facing new packaging guidelines around the world. What does this mean ? Should we appease the regulators ? Do we have a choice ? The good, the bad, the ugly.

Join us for this special pre-50th birthday podcast for our co-host Dr. Gaby Kafie. Enjoy the show family. Cheers !

This week we welcome Traci Irven and A.T. Fields, owners of Ultimate CEO Cigars. Please tune in and get to know their story a little better. These folks are 100% invested in the premium cigar industry. Everything they do is with love and passion for the leaf and the brother/sister hood of our industry.

A divided industry shall not withstand the forces that come our way. We all need to come together and help each other pave the way to a brighter future. Family owned premium cigar companies need to all be on a level playing field when it comes unity. As man have said before us, "we are all one !"

Today we had the great privilege of interviewing a new cigar lounge owner from Tyler, Texas. Jerah Hutchins is an amazing person, with an extremely interesting background. All I can say is Tyler, Texas will never be the same again. Please visit our dear friends at The Humidor Tyler to get to know them and celebrate their grand opening. We wish them huge success.

It's almost the middle of 2021. How has this year shaped up, where are we and what to expect moving forward. Shortages are happening in every industry. Are we going to be affected ? We already are. Enjoy the show.

This past week we had a great visit here in Miami, Florida from the owners of Mountain Smoke WV, a boutique cigar online retailer making waves in the premium cigar industry. Join us for great conversation and great times with some awesome people.

The ever changing world of technology has inspired a famous online cigar retailer to accept bitcoin as a form of payment. Will this become a new industry standard ? Doge to the moon !

This week we dive into the ever changing problems facing our family driven industry. Some government officials want to tax premium cigars up to $56/lb on import to the U.S.. This is not a typo 56 dollars per pound of tobacco imported to the U.S. This will start a revolution ! This can not happen.
